Rural Hospital Flexibility Act of 2025

This bill changes the Medicare rural hospital flexibility grant program. It adds rural emergency hospitals and certified rural health clinics to the support grants for quality improvement and related work. It sends small rural hospital improvement grants to State Offices of Rural Health instead of directly to hospitals, split among states based on their number of eligible small rural hospitals. It lets the Secretary award 5-year grants to help rural health care providers move to new care models, and grants for technical assistance to hospitals seeking or holding rural emergency hospital status.
